8 Reasons Why Kevin Owens Is A Terrible Heel

6. He’s Too Endearing

As a babyface, being endearing is a great trait, but as a heel, it just makes it that much harder to get over. Perhaps this complaint is too old school, but Owens’ showing fans all the fun times he’s having on social media makes us feel more of a connection to him, as if we actually know the dude, and thus like him more.

He goes to Disneyland and proudly posts a photo of himself on Twitter wearing a Minnie Mouse hat. His wife showed footage of their son when he showed up on Raw and beat up John Cena. It went viral. It was adorable. Same with when he won the World Title and his kid freaked out. He’ll buy coffee and take a photo of it. Yum!

Hey, it’s great. It really is nice that he's enjoying life and such...but ...it's not great for the top heel in the company to do.

Times have changed, technology has moved forward, but I just can’t imagine someone like Bruiser Brody in his prime, or The Undertaker in 1990 gladly showing off their trip to Disneyland to the fans. We knew it was fake then, but still, it was easier to get wrapped up in the drama when the stars of the show don't show us how normal they are.

Some characters are best suited retaining a sense of mystique, and that should go for the supposed meanest, nastiest person in the company who’s holding the top championship.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
